Aaron's attitude was also very strong-headed. John was so angry that his temples throbbed, as he was a lawyer who always reasoned with evidence and law. Facing the unreasonable Aaron, John was at a loss.John did not argue with Aaron and went straight into the house, searching through the closets and drawers for the property deed.After searching for a long time, he could not find it. Aaron and Scarlett also entered the house and stood in the living room, hearing the sound of John rummaging through things in the bedroom, they knew what John was looking for. The property deed had long been hidden by Aaron.John came out: "Dad, give me the property deed."Scarlett, seeing her son getting angry, forced a smile to smooth things over: "John, we're all family, we do this for your own good, worried that you're too hardworking."Before John could say anything, Aaron said: "We gave birth to you; you should take care of us. The house is your way of showing filial piety to us.""Dad, if you don'
Mia served breakfast, and Judy poured a glass of milk for John: "You've never eaten at my house before, this is the first time.""Is Lewis not here?" John looked around."He's on a business trip," Judy said. "The company is busy, and he can't watch over me every day. What happened with you? Is it about Susan?""No." John said, "It's about the house. I've been thinking, I should return the house to you. I don't really need it.""What's going on?" Judy was puzzled. "Didn't you say Zoey needs to study, and that house is perfect? Plus, with your large family, you need a place to live. I've given it to you, so just live in it. Why are you giving it back? Have your parents gone back to the countryside?"John found it hard to talk about it. He felt ashamed to tell Judy about the dirty laundry at home.John lied, "Yes, they are going back to the countryside. I don't need the house, and it's worth over ten million. Judy, this gift is really too precious. I won't feel at ease accepting this hou
The moment John saw Aaron, he had a bad premonition.Aaron stepped forward and slapped him, his face contorted with rage as he pointed and cursed: "Beast, a thing worse than a beast, Zoey is so young, and you could do such a thing to her, she's your own niece."This slap caught John off guard, and Aaron's words left him bewildered.Aaron had come with a television crew, a significant entourage, and his colleagues from the law firm gathered around to see what was happening.Confused, John asked, "Dad, what's going on? What happened to Zoey?""You're still pretending, you beast," Aaron looked at John as if he were an enemy.His gaze, as sharp as a knife, severed John's yearning for family affection.Before John could understand what was happening, a television reporter thrust a microphone in his face: "You're John? You're Zoey's uncle, and Zoey is just a five-year-old girl. You molested her, is this true? How could you do such a thing to such a young child?""Molested?" John thought he
Female reporter: "John, are you planning to take action against your father? He's the one who gave you life and raised you. How could you be so ungrateful?"John, enraged, replied: "What's your name? Which TV station are you from? You're spewing nonsense without any proof. What do you even know? Get that camera off me!"John was so angry that he was losing his rationality, not considering that his words would only lead to more misunderstandings. Perhaps he did consider it, but he just couldn't control his emotions.Ignoring John's warning, the female reporter turned to the camera and, in front of the online audience, stood on a moral high ground to condemn John: "As you can see, today this elderly man came to us for help. He raised his son with great hardship, only to be treated this way by his son, even going so far as to extend his perverted hands towards his own niece...""Try saying that again!" John's anger reached its peak, and he stepped forward to smash the camera.However, th
John saw the hot search and was so angry that he felt his brain swell and almost fainted on the spot.He sat alone in the car, staring at the videos and interviews on his phone, and watched as the comments section filled with insults. He thought about all the efforts he had made for his family over the past few days, and he broke down, hiding in the car and sobbing uncontrollably.His personal information had been leaked, and non-stop netizens were calling in. At first, he answered a few calls, only to be hung up on and forced to turn off his phone.John didn't dare go home. He dared not turn on his phone and drove off alone, leaving the city.At the pizza shop, Judy also saw the relevant news and was very worried about John. She quickly called John, but the phone was turned off.Unable to contact John, Judy was very anxious.Susan saw the hot search and was also worried about John. With John's phone turned off, she could only go to the pizza shop to find Judy."Judy, can you contact
Zoey is the most critical witness in the entire incident. Only her testimony can exonerate John from the suspicion of indecency. Judy is well aware that if she misses today's opportunity, she might not be able to get any information, or even see Zoey again."Zoey, don't be afraid, I'm really not a bad person," Judy tries her best to coax.Next door, Andrew is shouting, telling Zoey to ignore Judy and urging Scarlett to take Zoey away. Fortunately, with Andrew paralyzed and Aaron absent, Judy and Susan would have no chance to question Zoey otherwise.Worried about Aaron's return and potential conflict, especially since she is pregnant and vulnerable, Judy quickly calls Linda, asking her to bring some people over.After notifying Linda, Judy slowly begins to question Zoey. The door is locked from the inside, and she has time.Zoey is still crying, while next door Andrew reaches for his phone and has already called Aaron.Susan, hearing Andrew's warning, rushes to shout at Judy in the ro
Judy saw Susan lying on the ground and was very worried. She quickly went forward to help her up, asking, "Are you okay?"Susan deliberately touched her shoulder and said, "I'm fine."Seeing Judy come out, Aaron immediately went in and pulled Zoey out, asking, "What did she just tell you?"Zoey was quite frightened but didn't dare to cry. She was afraid of Aaron and could only answer honestly, "Grandpa, she asked if my new dad is good to me.""And what else? What else did she ask?"Zoey burst into tears.Seeing Zoey only knew how to cry, Aaron pushed her roughly, "Useless thing, all you know how to do is cry."Seeing Aaron being so fierce with a child, Judy, who was supporting Susan, didn't dare to say anything.Scarlett stepped forward and helped Zoey, who had been pushed over, to stand up, saying, "Zoey, don't cry, grandma is here."Zoey cried even harder.Aaron, holding a stool and looking ready to hit someone, glared menacingly at Judy and Susan, "Get out of here, now!"Judy had g
Scarlett watched all this in shock, her hand clinging to Zoey, shielding Zoey in her arms.Meanwhile, Susan, seeing Aaron hitting Judy, felt a flicker of delight in her heart, wishing Aaron would just smash the chair onto Judy's belly.However, just as the moment was critical, Judy dodged.She reacted quickly, and Aaron's chair missed its target.Judy was shaken and her heart raced; she didn't dare to confront him head-on, and if it were in the past, she would not have been afraid.As Aaron was about to hit Judy again, suddenly a group of people rushed in from outside, led by Lewis.Lewis strode towards Judy, shielding her with his body: "Judy, are you okay?"Judy shook her head: "I'm fine."The bodyguards behind Lewis quickly subdued Aaron, pressing him to the ground.Aaron was scared by the commotion and started to shout deliberately: "They're going to kill me, they're going to kill me!""Calm down!" The bodyguard threatened Aaron.Linda also arrived: "Madam."After receiving the ca
Serina subconsciously glanced at Lewis, who was standing in front of Judy's tombstone. Could it be for him?During these days, Lewis had been very quiet, and his daily routine was to perform the funeral rites for Judy and accompany her on her final journey.He no longer shed tears, but he also had no smile, as if he were just an empty shell.People lined up to offer flowers in their hands, stood in silence in front of Judy's grave for a few seconds, and then walked away, one after another. The funeral lasted until 10 o'clock in the morning.Lewis unexpectedly spoke, addressing his grandmother, "Grandma, let everyone go back. I'll stay here a little longer to keep Judy company."He hadn't spoken for a long time, and when Lewis finally did, his voice was extremely hoarse, and it had changed a bit.The grandmother's eyes were moist, and she nodded in agreement, asking Antonio to see the relatives and friends off.People gradually left, and in the end, only a few people, including Serena,
The helicopter arrived in Birmingham and landed in the backyard of Lewis's villa, where Lewis disembarked carrying the urn."Judy, we're home," he whispered softly, his tone gentle.The others also got off the helicopter, and Antonio, who had already received the news, had prepared a memorial hall at home.After a year, Judy finally returned, but in such a manner.Antonio was waiting at home, and it was only when he saw Lewis holding the urn and getting off the helicopter that he truly believed Judy had passed away, and what Isabella had said on the phone was true.Soon after,The news of Judy's death spread, shocking everyone. How could someone who was fine before suddenly pass away?In the eyes of outsiders, Judy was a person who had survived a shipwreck.Steven also received the news and quickly went to Lewis's house.A memorial hall was set up, with a coffin placed in the hall, and Judy's urn was placed inside the coffin.Lewis invited high monks to perform a funeral service for J
As Hannah said, even if it was a heart-wrenching pain, Lewis would still want to listen. He wanted to know what Judy experienced before her death.Hannah continued, "Judy was afraid of dying because she couldn't bear to leave you and Angel, but we did our best, and the doctors were helpless. She didn't want to die in the hospital; it seemed she was very averse to hospitals. After the doctor said there was no hope, she asked us to take her away, so I took her home, and she passed away in the attic room...""At that time, I promised her to fulfill her last wishes. She couldn't let go of you and Angel, so I went to your side, impersonated Judy, and took care of you and Angel in her place. But I couldn't do it, and in the end, I chose to make you dislike me, to give up on the marriage voluntarily."Hannah paused for a moment and gave a bitter smile, "Judy died when you loved her the most. You will never be able to let go of her for the rest of your life. Judy thought that if you didn't lo
Hannah was worried and wanted to find Lewis.She called the grandmother and only then learned that Lewis was hospitalized in the hospital next door.Taking advantage of the fact that neither Kim nor Guy were in the hospital, Hannah removed the IV needle from the back of her hand and was about to sneak out.However, just as she stepped out of the room, Kim returned from outside: "Sister, where are you going?""I..." Hannah stammered.Kim immediately guessed: "You want to find Lewis? I forbid you to go. You just had surgery. What are you going to do looking for Lewis? He already knows you're not Judy. If he gets angry and hurts you, what then?"Hannah said, "But I can't hide either. Lewis is ill, and everything is because of me. I should go. I owe it to Judy.""You don't owe anyone anything. Judy couldn't have been saved anyway. Even if you hadn't used Judy's heart, someone else would have," Kim said, "Anyway, I won't let you go.""Kim, why are you so heartless?" Hannah got angry, "Judy
Many children nowadays actually understand that the dead are buried beneath the graves.Angel opened her big eyes, which were clear and naive.Such a look, who wouldn't feel heartache upon seeing it?Lewis forced himself to sit up, leaning against the tombstone, his hand stroking it, not knowing how to explain to his daughter.Angel looked at Louis again, "Who is underneath this?"Louis really didn't know how to answer. He glanced at Lewis.Angel's gaze then shifted to Avery, wanting an answer from him.But no one had the heart to tell Angel such a cruel answer.Just when everyone found it hard to speak, Angel reached out her small hand to touch the tombstone and asked softly, "Is my mother buried here?"Angel's words shocked the three of them. How did Angel know?Could it be that there is truly a mother-daughter connection?Seeing that the adults were all silent, Angel suddenly burst into tears, "Mommy, it's mommy, I want my mommy."Angel cried her heart out, and Lewis held his daugh
When a person is at their most helpless and desperate, they hope for miracles, they wish for time to go back.The rain continued to fall, and the temperature at night was very low, so cold that it made people shiver.Lewis lay on the grave like a walking corpse, devoid of any vitality.Louis walked over with an umbrella and held it above his head: "Boss, don't do this. If Judy sees you like this from heaven, she will be upset."Lewis's eyes were open, but it was as if he couldn't see or hear anything. He didn't care about anything or listen to anyone. He just wanted to be closer to Judy by staying close to the grave.God couldn't hear his hysterical cries or see his heart-wrenching pain."Boss," Louis crouched down and persuaded him, "The rain is getting heavier, let's go back first."Lewis's eyes slightly shifted, finally finding a focal point: "Judy is afraid of the cold and the dark. I can't leave her alone here. I need to accompany her.""Boss, I know you're in a lot of pain, but
Isabella's face showed sadness, "Lewis definitely can't handle it. How can a person endure the loss of their loved one twice?"Isn't that like rubbing salt into a wound?"If he can get through this, then we won't have to worry in the future. But if he can't..." The grandmother didn't finish her sentence.Everyone knew the implications of what could happen....Cemetery.The dimly lit cemetery was quite eerie, and someone with a timid nature would probably be terrified to visit.The weather changed abruptly, and a light drizzle began to fall.Lewis, with Judy on his mind, stumbled towards Judy's tombstone after getting out of the car.There were only a few lamps in the cemetery, and one of them happened to be pointing in the direction of Judy's tombstone, making it easy for Lewis to find it at once."Judy, Judy!"Lewis was too eager and overwhelmed with grief. When he saw Judy's tombstone, the sorrow in his heart surged like a floodgate being opened, pouring out. He was walking too qui
The grandmother sighed, "Lewis found out about Judy's passing and couldn't bear the blow.""Lewis knows?" Serina was astonished, "And you all knew too?"Louis was surprised, "Serina, you knew about it early on?"Serina was among the first to know."Yes, Hannah told me before," Serina said, "I was worried that Lewis wouldn't be able to handle it, so I didn't dare to tell him. How did he find out?""Paper can't wrap up fire," Louis said, "Once Hannah fell and was hospitalized, it was impossible to keep it a secret.""Then when Lewis went out just now..." Serina immediately became worried, "What if something happens to him, or he gets the wrong idea?"Avery said, "He probably went to the cemetery to see Judy."The grandmother quickly said, "Louis, go to the cemetery right away and keep an eye on him. Don't let him do anything foolish.""Okay, grandma, don't worry, I'll go there now," Louis assured her.Louis and Avery went together.Serina took the grandmother back to the hotel first, wh
Lewis was emotionally out of control, looking at Hannah's face, he wished he could peel off her skin.That was the face of his wife.He wished he could dig out her heart, for it belonged to his wife.Hannah was unworthy, unworthy of possessing everything that belonged to Judy.If it weren't for this heart, how could he have been deceived and confused, mistaking Hannah for his wife? All the familiarity that Hannah gave him was because of this heart.Angel recognized Hannah as her mother, and that was also because of this heart.In Lewis's eyes, Hannah was the murderer, one of those responsible for Judy's death.Hannah did not defend herself; she knew that Lewis was in a state of rage and would not listen to anything.No one could accept such a thing.Lewis wanted to strangle Hannah, but looking at that face, he couldn't bring himself to do it; it was no different from killing Judy himself.The people outside the room couldn't see what was happening inside, but they could hear it.Reali
